The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Degrassi: Next Class is a Canadian teen drama television series primarily created by Linda Schuyler. The fifth and to date most recent series in the Degrassi franchise and a direct sequel to Degrassi: The Next Generation, it premiered on Family Channel's new teen programming block F2N in Canada on January 4, 2016, and was released on Netflix internationally on January 25, 2016. The series follows most of the same characters that had debuted in the final four seasons of the previous series, as well as introducing new characters. Intended as the fifteenth season of Degrassi: The Next Generation, it was later retooled to be a reboot that would appeal to the emerging Generation Z. Like its predecessor, the series was filmed at the Epitome Pictures studios in Toronto, Ontario. The fourth season, released to Netflix in July 2017, was the last; in March 2019, show producer and frequent director Stefan Brogren alluded to the show's cancellation in a tweet.
